“i thank You God for most this amazing”

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday; this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any–lifted from the no
of all nothing–human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

e.e. cummings
1894-1962

It is that time of year again when we are awakened by the spring. Rebirth and renewal –hope springs eternal. The blossoming of flowers and chirping of birds. Spring time and Easter, the equinox and Passover all converge with the Full Alder Pink Moon to remind us to take in a deep breath complete with a deep exhale. Just like the seasons and the tides – in and out – it is time to sow the seeds we want to reap so in our next time of harvest we are fulfilled and nourished. Now is the time to lay the ground for what is to come. Being awake and being connected to nature and it’s rhythms will always help to clarify priorities and create right actions. Now more than ever it is time to celebrate and honor the earth and all its wonder. Chaos and deprivation of spirit swirl around us – spewing from our TV’s, smartphones and hallowed halls of government. It is important to stay informed, stay vigilant but stay centered and balanced so you can be your best self to help make positive change. Now more then ever is a time to go within and ask oneself what is important? How can I best bring that inner desire forward to make our world a better place for everyone.
